Marc Webb spoke to the LA Times and revealed why the he chose not to use organic web-shooters in The Amazing Spider-Man. Instead he chose to stick closer to the comic-book portrayal in which the webs are shot out of devices built by Peter Parker. Webb wanted to create a more traditional take on the film and reportedly sought the guidance from Stan Lee.
Here is what Webb had to say about his meeting with Lee:
”I had a meeting with Stan Lee and we talked about the web-shooters. I was curious about the incarnation of them [because] of course in the previous films [they went away from them] and we wanted to reestablish ourselves. That was one thing but the other thing was the fact that the web-shooters were able to dramatize Peter’s intellect and I thought that was really cool. … It was in the comics and we have a different design but it’s a cool element to have. It’s not something we over-use or over-exploit. To me, it’s something I remember from when I was a kid and thinking ‘It would be cool if I could build those.’”
Webb went on to reveal that the webbing issue was bundled in his mind with the Spider-Man costume.
“We paid attention to the question of ‘How would a kid make it?’ And obviously we took some license with it. We also wanted a design that would make the body longer and more lithe, more of an acrobat, someone incredibly agile, and the legs of the spider [symbol on the chest] were something we used to emphasize that. We made a bunch of different suits for different lighting conditions. I wanted something that worked in the night a little better. We paid attention to that and also made the webbing [on the costume] a little bit darker. With the costume and the web-shooters we wanted to emphasize that these are things that Peter Parker made and that he is special himself even if he feels like he’s an outsider.”
